The oriental Bengal was faced with several challenges after having traveled to Turkmenistan for its return floor of the quarter -final of the AFC Challenge League on March 12. The Red and Gold Brigade is expected to play on FK Arkadag on Wednesday in the quarter -finals of the West region.

To acclimatize under the conditions, the club flew to the country on the evening of March 9, but had a culture shock with the “different” of rules for India.

Sport understands that the players were allowed to train before the match and all are in good condition. However, there is no internet outside the accommodation and passports of the team members were confiscated at the hotel. In addition, increased surveillance around the team has been observed.

“The team is in better condition. We have gone through certain problems during the season and some changes in the form of injuries, “said Oscar Bruzon, head coach of oriental Bengal before the match.

“But at the moment, I think most players are available, eager and delighted to be in such an important competition in the last step.”

Turkmenistan, formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, was under authoritarian regimes since then, starting with President Saparmurat Niyazov, who remained in charge until his death in 2006.
